But why would you consider a D90? It is a 2 years ago model.
I would suggest a D7000.

Help me to decide a compact small camera...

Undecided between; Sony NEX, Olympus EP Series, LX-5, GF1/2 etc....

Already have a DSLR just that some occasion is not apropriate to bring a DSLR and sometimes I prefer to bring a smaller one easier to bring around.

Budget wise below 2.5k the better.

4 a beginners??
which one better??

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR
Budget: Below 2.5k
Your Location:  KL
Preferable brand :  Canon / Nikon

Not familiar with the difference with it. This is my friend ask for and i helped to research for it.

Any comment will be appreciate

Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Pentax/Canon/Nikon

I just want to know what's the best price I can find on this camera, but if there are other models, they're fine too.

Guys, i'm looking to buy a NEX -5 with dual kit.. But, seeming the price.. i might go for a dslr.. I am kind of noob here..But, really interested in photography and i am kind of an all rounder.. I love to take shot at wedding too...

so, do you think NEX 5 is already okay, or i'll shoot go for DSLR instead?

@chiahau: yeah..rite? but still.. i've read better not go for a sony alpha dslr cuz they might not continue with dslr and focus on nex.. Canon or nikon is no problem for me but.. there am i again.. confuse whether i should go for a dslr or nex instead... sigh..

Added on December 22, 2010, 9:38 am@Jurlique: i've search some of them on the net.. but most of the comment are like fanboys(either hate it or love it too much)..

plus, from what i've collected:

ease of use: nex
quality of pic : draw or some mid-end dslr or all high end dslr
learning curve: nex
customisation: dslr
full control : dslr

but how about future proof(from lens price, accessory and variability)?

SONY NEX seems to gain my interests....now my next question is should I go for Nex 3 or Nex 5 since the diff is only on the 1080i video recording and the build quality. And also the type of lens I should go first?

I know with $ anything is possible but I'm trying to keep it as low as possible looking around below 2.5k

Btw any installment usually from SONY?

Thank for the guidance.

Hi,

I'm a noob in photography and want 2 buy a DSLR(have posted earlier) I am thinking between the Nikon D7000 and the Canon 60D.
So can anyone like recommend me which is the better one in terms of functions and user friendly as I will use it to learn the basics and all.
My interest is to photograph wildlife and landscapes.

Thanks...

my budget limited only for this dlsr.
RM1500-RM1800
Canon 1000D...Sony a290..
Which both are the best?

which FF you are talking about?? model?
go for canon 450D or nikon d3000
the price will be around your budget

I don't think i want to get the 7d coz i'm still to this...
since 7d is oredi a pro camera, i don't think i can learn easily with it....
that's why i'm considering either 60D or D7000

    if that so go for entry level camera.
550D is good, d5000 is good, d3100 is good. 500D is good as well.
even 1000D for learning purpose.
